Trump Says He will Defy Court Order: No Funding Food Benefits

Tuesday, November 04, 2025

Trump's announcement is a shocking reversal from Monday, when the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which administers SNAP, said it would abide by court orders to pay at least partial benefits ...

Starving poor people is such a pro life stance.

Republic*nts are scum.

There is a county in KY where 97% of the SNAP recipients are white and who overwhelmingly voted for Pedo47 are finding out loyalty is a one way street when dealing with him.

Republicans are punishing poor people, elderly people, and children, intentionally trying to make them starve, for political purposes... theoretically for political gain?

I was just looking at another thread where BillJohnson was talking about being a Christian.

How does this conform with Christian values?

What a novel way for Dummkopf Trumpf to help Republicans win their elections in NYC, NJ, and Virginia. Pure unadulterated genius.

If Moses Mike were a real Leader, he would stand up to Trump and do a Deal.... hahahhaa!
Who am I kidding?

If he keeps kowtowing to Trump, Republicans won't just lose the Mid-Terms, they may not get into power again until the next century.

Trump's Approval Rating is his lowest ever, 36 percent, meaning ONLY the Base, no swing voters.

Wellllllll... if you can't get eggs... you can't complain about the price.

I hope he cuts all aid off all the way through the holidays... and shows pictures of himself and his cronies eating... partying and exchanging gifts... it will be great for national morale... and international image...

Sometimes... whilst living in a consumer driven economy like ours... one should just ride the horse in the direction it's going. If we can't buy... they don't make profit...

Go for it pig brains... get out all your dominoes...

#16 | Posted by RightisTrite at 2025-11-04 03:25 PM

Perhaps the sane thing to do would be for Republicans to actually show us the REPLACEMENT PLAN for the ACA BEFORE they CUT THE BENEFITS, NOT AFTER!

Then the Gov can open again... but wait, they have NO Plan and then the Epstein Files would be released, too, so we should just starve some people and then take away their health care to stop that happening.

Democrat Elites hanging infinite Obamacare subsidies over the American public's head

Simply unable to come to terms with their poor legislation, nor how fix it.

I just read this threat from a Republican Senator. It goes something like this ...

If the GOP Nukes the filibuster with 51 votes, why vote for a continuing CR? Why not just cancel a whole bunch of expenses that the Democrats wouldn't let us cancel before.
Be careful what you wish for.

Democracies work best when there is compromise.
"Mutual respect is necessary for a democracy to function, and denigrating another's patriotism, misrepresenting an opponent's positions, and refusing to cooperate even on matters on which there is agreement undermine the relationships needed to resolve differences."
magazine.byu.edu

Both Democrats and Republicans agree people should be fed, it's time to compromise.

Because its not their problem.

Quite simply, the Democrats broke it, so they bought it, thinking they were the only people who knew how to do it. It's been broken for some time. Pelosi just papered over it, causing even more upheaval.

ObamaCare was doomed if insurance prices went too high. Even with the mandate penalty, it's cheaper not to get insurance. It's now in a death spiral; only those who need it now will sign up for it.

Not to worry, insurance companies made their money!

But Trump's press secretary claims that the AG department is moving ahead with providing partial SNAP benefits, which would seem to contradict what her boss has been telling everyone.

Never the less... it has way more substance to it than anything the cl0wns come up with.

COME UP WITH A BETTER PLAN!!

You can't... in fact... it's "success"... and it has been successful... is the Republicl0wn's fault... because they keep defaulting to having nothing to offer.

" Democrats designed shitty legislation for healthcare"

Actually, it's not a bad design.

But any law, unattended other than attacks, will be undermined.

Republicans killed it when they eliminated the mandate. Every time Republicans have worked on this problem in good faith, they've concluded it can't work without the mandate.

So give credit where credit is due: if O'Care sucks, blame the folks who made it suck ... and have proffered NO ALTERNATIVES, despite having a decade and a half.

Not even a concept of a plan.

#22 | Posted by lfthndthrds

Repubilcans must not have a better plan because we have yet to hear one. Repubilcans would prefer if the Republicans depending on those subsidies just don' thave health care any more. If that's not correct please set the record straight!

"It's over and if they cant get 7 democrats to agree it's over, people who go hungry will can look to the Democrat party as the reason."

Health care through ACA subsidies and not going hungry thanks to SNAP are two different things.
SNAP has funds right now. Trump won't release them, in defiance of the law.
There's nothing seven Democrats can do to change that.

Take the W, this is all Republican all the way.

The republicans have spent years tearing ACA apart piece by piece because it was the black guys legislation and they hated that fact. If that wasn't true they would have spent all this time changing it and building on it for the good of the American people. Unless repubs, of course, are just willing to admit they don't give a rats behind about Americans and are only concerned about shareholders in the medical insurance industry.

#43 | Posted by rukiddin at 2025-11-04 05:58 PM

That is an example of why I can't wrap my head around people who support republicans. They do literally NOTHING to help poor and middle class Americans.

Generally speaking, anything that does help them comes from democrat policies that republicans refuse to help with and then take credit for.

Like what substantive thing has the republicans done for middle and lower class people over the past 40+ years?

No child left behind, maybe, could at least be considered an effort at helping them

Tax cuts that primarily benefit the wealthy is the only thing the republicans have done over the past 25 years.

Other than the culture war shit, which they are successful with and I accept that there are lower and middle class people who want what the republicans are serving on that stuff

but what substantive economic thing have the republicans done?

#44 | Posted by truthhurts at 2025-11-04 06:20 PM

I'm confused. Is it 50% or zero?
